k-12 school district strategic planning and implementation

the planning process is just as important as the plan

many strategic plans can look the same on paper, but the process and approach to creating your plan can have a profound difference on your district teams and broader community.

we support districts across the country to build and execute an inclusive, responsive, and effective strategic planning process that fosters alignment, builds trust, and establishes a strong leadership tone and tenure. districts choose to work with use because:

   we listen for context and to create belonging.
   we adapt for the context of your community and evolve as we learn.
   our processes lead to sustained change.

we help you develop community trust through multiple touchpoints and intentional messaging.

many strategic planning providers offer the design of the plan as the primary form of communication with your staff and broader community. instead of working in silos and communicating once your plan is complete, we work with districts to develop multiple touchpoints for visibility into the process. we help you craft intentional messaging and think about the timing and format of each update.
